Simple MAC Autumn Makeup Look

Autumn is finally upon us and with a new season comes new makeup looks! I only started changing up my makeup for each season last year so I like to keep it subtle. With that in mind I thought it would be nice to share my go-to autumn/winter makeup look with you (hence why the products look well loved!). It's basically your simple makeup look with 4 MAC products added to give it that autumnal vibe.

The look is mainly based on the eyes with Orb as an all over base and Haux in the outer corner, crease and on the lower lash line, starting heavier on the outer corner and blending out to 3 quarters along. I always go with a nude lip when using darker eyeshadow to make the eyes look more dramatic.

I then use Ladyblush on the cheeks. I like to use cream blush in autumn/winter because the colder daylight can make my skin look a little dull. Using Luna to gently highlight the cheekbones and brow bone also helps with this.

Like I said before, this is a look with the idea that you can do your basic makeup with your own base, concealer, mascara, eyeliner etc but then adding these products to make it more autumnal.

If you want to know what other products I used other than these 4 just ask :)

P.s. It was really hard to find good enough lighting to take these photos so the Haux eyeshadow is actually slightly darker and richer in real life than in the pictures!
